Please also add this option to the install command.
--production

sudo npm install --unsafe-perm --production pimatic-tradfri@beta

[tehmilcho]

Its the Same .... im testing in the moment with my old installation on my Raspberry PI ... because my current Pimatic installations runs (fine) on a Lattepanda Delta with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

[tehmilcho]

It seems to work on my Raspberry .. but i also checked the filesystem and this "pimatic.js" is also on the Raspberry .. its mabye the Node-Version a Problem? On the Raspberry runs a 4.5 and on the Lattepanda a 10.16?

Update:

I tried to copy the new Tradfri folder from my Raspberry to the lattepanda ... Pimatic will start, under Plugins are the correct version but the Plugin will not loaded and the Pimatic-Mobilefrontend reports Errors and cant not process any rules anymore.

00:48:03.752 [pimatic-mobile-frontend] error: Client error: Unable to process binding "if: function(){return !$data.hidden }"
00:48:03.752 [pimatic-mobile-frontend] error:>Message: Cannot read property 'hidden' of null

[tehmilcho]

I fix it .. what a mess...

Solution:
With the new NPM and Node versions you get a lot of Warnings from a Pimatic installation because it uses a lot of unsave Products.

"npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.
....
added 35 packages from 32 contributors and audited 2246 packages in 51.959s
found 77 vulnerabilities (19 low, 39 moderate, 18 high, 1 critical)
run npm audit fix to fix them, or npm audit for details"

Because of this it will create a "package-lock.json" in your Pimatic-App folder.

1. delete the "package-lock,json"
2. delete the whole "pimatic-tradfri"-Folder (under node_modules)
3. Run "npm install --unsafe-perm --production pimatic-tradfri@beta"

Back to Topic,
i can control a Blind over the Beta-Version but i think the GUI-Elements for it not so good.

But frist things frist ... all my Lights are now broken.

Affected are:

• Single Light-Devices
• Groups
• Sences

** Update **
After some force-CacheClean Reloads of the Browser the GUI for the Lights looking fine and worked as expected.

GUI for Blinds:

• Batterie Life in % should be Added to GUI and Device Attributes or Variables (It is there because the Iobroker plugin has it)
• a Switch with Custom Label "Open / Close" (0% / 100%) should be Added (the same like the Lights but with other Text) - FYI: 0% is fully closed and 100% is fully open ... by the default ..( i hope you also find this strange xD )

Plugin Problems:

• Presents is not working at moment by blinds, the blinds are perm as "False" listed
• Groups with Blinds will not work because it seems that plugin things that these are Lights
• Plugin found the Remotecontrol from the Blinds as "Pimatic-tradfri: RemoteControl: "DEVICENAME" - Tradfri open/close Remote" but will not work, i think the same like the Groups

[treban]

hey, thanks for the effort and feedback. i will check your comments. unfortunately the remotecontroles are not really usable through the tradfri gateway. you can't interact with them except to check the battery or online status.

[tehmilcho]

Hey, then maybe filter the Remotecontroles out by default?

bytheway that are the Values that the Iobroker Plugin gets from the Blinds.. maybe you can look in to there code to get all you need :)

Hey,
I found a strange bug...added now 4 blinds, all have different tradfri ids but one of the devices controls the wrong one.

Livingroom 1 - works fine
Livingroom 2 - works fine

Sleepingroom 1 - works fine
Sleepingroom 2 - controls livingroom 1

Its wars a bug from the gateway it self... Sorry... Solution wars to remove and add the accu form Sleepingroom 2

[tehmilcho]

Hey Dude,

I hope you and your family are healthy and well, is there anything new about the blinds?

I have again and again the problem that I am surprised that a battery is empty and notice it only when I want to close the blinds again.

It would be really great if you could get the Pimatic to have the information about the battery level

[treban]

sorry for the late reply. i've been very busy the last months. i'll see if i can find time for the plugin the next days.

[djmvt]

It would be great to see blinds support in the tradfri plugin, is this still in development?
